Topic: purred spinach

Hi
Has anyone tried making saag aloo with tinned purred spinach I'm thinking of making some at the weekend i have seen the tinned stuff in my Asian shop just wondering if it's worth sticking a few tins in the cupboard.

cheers

Hi

Sorry not for curry but was introduced to frozen many years ago by a friend, who would recommend the tinned as better used as a door stop!

I totally agree, tinned is vile stuff IMO,
the frozen is far superior,

Hi
Cheers for the advise i'll go with fresh or frozen i think i suppose having a bag of frozen in the freezer is just as convenient as having tinned anyway

cheers

fresh or frozen is way better
But I know two places that use canned spinach
I've seen it used for sag aloo and also in chicken curries too
If you're going to use fresh, it's probably best to blanch and drain it first
That will give you a better idea of how much spinach you have actually got, and make it easier to fit in the pan!!
